Actually it's large the number of women that make use of high-heeled shoes for several hours a day, often being subdued to gait different types of surfaces, smooth and/or inclined, subjecting the musculoskeletal system to a variety of efforts. The present study’s intentions were: to adapt a treadmill for the biomechanical analysis; to analyze women’s gait using high heels in comparison with the barefoot condition; to analyze the influence of a slope surface over the march pattern of individuals and to relate the effect of high-heeled shoes utilization with the effect of a slope surface. An electronic treadmill was adapted with the installation of independent force platforms for the right and the left foot, using 8 rings and 32 strain gages in a strategic location. These were connected trough 2 channels to the Spider 8, responsible for acquisition and processing the signals which, connected to a computer, allowed the data analysis by the Catman® 3.1 software. It was necessary the utilization of a gear motor for the high-heels gait’s velocity adaptation. A tripod and a digital camera were used for kinematic analysis of the right knee in the sagittal plane. For synchronization of kinematic and kinetic data, we used a light signaling that allowed the simultaneous start of data acquisition. Ten healthy young women volunteers participated on the study, walking on the treadmill barefoot and wearing shoes with heels of 5.0 cm on the horizontal plane, inclined 1.83 ° and 3.61 °. Each condition was analyzed for 10 seconds, summarizing 60 seconds of analysis of each volunteer. The images were fragmented in Quintic Player ® software and relayed to the software ImageJ ®, through which were analyzed the angular variation. Statistical analysis Non-parametric (Wilcoxon test) by using significance p <0.10 showed that the use of shoes with with 5 cm heels associated with motion...
